I am studying this stuff all over the web. Haven't even planned a setup yet. My wife thinks I'm crazy and doesn't want me using my existing aquarium as a starter FT. My original thought was to attempt with what I already had, including access to channel cats wild caught (and abundant in south Louisiana) or firtilized eggs. Worried about other species laws for non natives. Hadn't researched that yet. If we are trying to copy Father God, would wild caughts work?
